The start of the regular season has been quite good. The Rockets should use Durant sparingly.

The 25-26 NBA regular season continues. The Rockets challenge the Cavaliers away. In the first half, the Rockets took a big lead. In the third quarter, the Cavaliers launched a counterattack to narrow the gap. In the last quarter, Holiday became a surprise player in the Rockets backcourt. He scored consecutively to help the Rockets expand their lead back to double digits. In the end, the Rockets defeated the Cavaliers 114-104 and won five consecutive games. The Rockets are currently ranked third in the Western Conference with 10 wins and 3 losses. Such a start to the regular season is really good, but the Rockets must also be careful about the use of Durant. If this offensive player is injured, the Rockets' combat effectiveness may drop by a notch.

In the 24-25 season, the Rockets played 7 games against the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs. The Rockets' defense impressed everyone, but their offense still lacked sufficient means. The original intention of the Rockets introducing Durant in the offseason was of course to take the team's offense to a higher level. In some games, you can also see that Due to Durant's ability, Durant scored key goals in the final quarter and overtime against the Magic to help the Rockets win the game. As he gets older, Durant's health is worthy of the Rockets' attention. Durant had the experience of being injured and absent during the regular season while playing for the Nets and Suns. I hope this will not happen to the Rockets.

The minimum goal of the Rockets in the 25-26 season should be to reach the Western Conference Finals. To achieve this goal, the Rockets need to strive for a better regular season ranking at the minimum cost in the regular season. It would be best to get to the top four in the Western Conference. Currently, the Rockets have many players at their disposal, and Uduka really needs to avoid overusing star players.
